On 26 March 2026, the Sustainability Committee of the Chilean-British Chamber of Commerce held a new session focused on the exchange of best practices, engagement with key stakeholders, and the presentation of innovative sustainability initiatives.

During the session, the Committee’s purpose was reinforced as a collaborative platform to address priority challenges such as water management, waste, energy, and carbon, highlighting the importance of bringing together authorities, businesses, and organisations in open dialogue to drive concrete solutions.

Recognition of Innovation: RICS Award
One of the central highlights was the presentation of the RICS Award, a recognition with 17 years of track record that honours outstanding projects in sustainable innovation. Open to both large and small companies, the award aims to showcase best practices, facilitate knowledge transfer, and connect organisations with innovative solutions.

Among its key benefits, the award includes a business-focused trip to the United Kingdom, supporting internationalisation and the development of new business opportunities.
